So from what wee see, the ultimate direction is 1 cylinder and 6 Turbos! 
But seriously guys, 381bhp, 740Nm, 6.3L/100km it's engineering masterpiece. After watching, this movie, "you" know one day this car will show in your rear mirror or traffic light and you wouldn't want even try to have it
!
Please watch the acceleration from 0- 250 here

From the vid, it seems to do 0-100 km/h in about 4 seconds... And it has launch control (unless the driver did brake torquing himself). Nice. Skip to the 40 second mark for that:

Not even worth getting excited about 
Kind of like window shopping super models with brains and ability to climb mountains. No, well actually, they are more common than that engine ever will be in North America!

Damn shame it's not coming to NA, looks like the perfect car to me. Once it's 15 years old we can legally import it into Canada, so let's see how much we are still in love then :-)
